In Open Journal System there is notification feature for user. The default value for all notifications is only sent to notification feed. How to change this default behavior so beside sent to feed, the notification is also sent to email? I search the option about this in plugin manager, but i can not found the menu to change the notification behavior.

The second question is why people who subscribe only the mailing list (but not register themselves to the journal) can not receive the notification about new issue, which sent manually by editor in editor menu? Because the notification which sent automatically when new issue published , does not include the table of content like when notification sent manually.

There currently isn't a way to automatically set the notification settings to enable email notifications automatically -- the amount of notifications OJS produces could be quite high, and email can be intrusive, so we've left this to individual users.

Regarding notifications of new issues: a notification of that type should indeed be showing up/emailed to the users who have signed up to the notification mailing list. Which version of OJS are you using?

Hi,I have the same issue. People who subscribe only to the mailing list (but do not register themselves to the journal) receive automated notifications that new issue has been published (unfortunatelly the content of that issue is not attached).But these people do not receive the notification about new issue, which is sent manually by editor in editor menu.

Is it possible to import/export the list of email addresses in the maillist? So far it is only possible to import/export the list of users. I would very much like to import/export this list. Or at least see the list of these email addresses.

Thanks for the clarification, and also the code! I've submitted a feature request here: http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6999. Please feel free to CC yourself to that report for future updates. In the meantime, I think your solution should work well enough for a temporary workaround.

Regarding your question about the mailing list list: there is no way currently to get that list via OJS, although we would certainly be willing to add it as a feature request in the future if others are interested. In the meantime, if you have access to your database (via phpMyAdmin or some other way), you can retrieve a list of email addresses by looking at the notification_settings table.

I can't seem to make this work, and I'm wondering why. The feature is great, so I'm thankful for the workaround, around the issue that those who are only on the mailing list can't get the manually sent notifications.

I have inserted the code into \pages\editor\IssueManagementHandler.inc.php, both the whole part from "if (Request::getUser ..." to the end, and only the edited, yellow parts (the written result in the file is different, depending on this). But still only registered users are reached by the manually sent. Does the workaround work for the 2.3.8-version, which I use? Or is there something else I have to do to make it work, besides just inserting the code?
